THE WORLD SITUATION
Queraoy has Red China firing on itj America
has been bombarded by politiciansj Russia has
Nobel Prize winners wondering whether to accept the awards: the Middle East has everyone
wondering where the next revolt will develop:
and UCA finally has another issue of the paper.
Perceptive readers will have noted at the
top of page 1 that this issue covers the July,
August, September, October, and November period and is a combined edition of Vol. 1, Nos,
7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.
During the paper's absence, several important developments have occurred at UCA, The
building has had a face-lifting and now stands
up against the best of 'em for attractiveness,
comfort and is now more adequate than ever before. But we're still a little short of room,
Mr. Robins notes, and if the company continues
to grow at its present rate, expansion of office facilities will be a must.
Keith Caldwell contends that the new double
doors on the bookeeping department are NOT
aids for keeping people inside the room. He
says they just make it easier to get IN and
OUT of the department, speed up efficiency,
let in more light, etc. We still wonder.
The lawn in front of the building has come
to be called "Roland's Romance". Seems Jack
Roland spent a lot of time and urging getting
the grass to look like grass. But his efforts
produced results, and now UCA - home of the
country's leading garden supply products - has
a lawn that shows the results of applying
quality products, and following through with
consistent, quality care.
New employes interested in learning more
about the company can find adequate material
in back issues of this publication, Aritcles
in previous issues explain many of the company's policies regarding employees. Back
issues are available from Don Ware and all
employees are welcome to take any of the back
editions of the VACUUM.
This VACUUM explains the Credit Union and
the benefits employees who belong enjoy thru
their membership.
As the photo shows, Don Powell usually has
the floor during coffee breaks. Here he's
saying: "I just can't stand the new
chemise - I never know just where to squeeze,"
MACHINES TAKE OVER
Effective Jan. 1, 1959, UCA's bookkeeping department will "cut over" to IBM operations. This change involves extensive
acquisition of new equipment and arrangements of the accounting office.
The installation will consist of the
following machines: one 026 Key Punch (this
machine punches all information into the
cards with the help of an operator); one
056 verifyer (this machine checks all punches made by the key punch): one 082 sorter
(by reading the punches on the card, this
machine can sort them into any sequence)]
one 085 collator (used for merging groups
of cards, selecting cards, matching one
card against another, and many other jobs)}
one 602-A calculator (adds, subtracts,
multipiys , divides and punches in cards);
one i;02 accounting machine (prints records
from cards); one 526 summary punch (summarizes information into one card, can be used
as a key punch, and reproduces one card
into another.
